Chapter 10: Crazy Plans
"Look here."
Zhong Laoqi pointed to the stone trough where the water droplets were dripping and said to me: "This stone trough is not big, but the pit that these water droplets have smashed out for many years. ”
"Oh? What method? ”
I hurriedly walked to him, but was pulled aside by Mr. Zhong, and I suddenly realized that I was blocking his light.
"Look at the marks drawn on it, there are a total of twelve bars, each bar represents an hour, a day is twelve hours, and the cycle repeats, now I don't need to look at the marks in the stone trough, I can accurately say the hour of the moment!"
Zhong Laoqi smiled proudly, and then said: "The time point of this judgment is not arbitrary, but according to the law of the appearance of those ghosts and ghosts outside, the ghosts are haunted at three o'clock in the hour, and the ghosts are hiding at that point in time, and the other point in time is three o'clock in the hour, the ghosts are haunted and the ghosts are hiding their figures, but no matter which point in time, there will be a gap of half a quarter, and the entire spooky stream will tend to be calm!" ”
"Uh...... Why is it called the Ghost Stream instead of the Charm Stream? ”
I asked, stunned.
"The name I took."
Zhong Laoqi rolled his eyes.
"Now is the ...... Is it the end of the sub-hour? ”
I stared at the trough and asked.
"Oh, when we came back yesterday, we forgot to clean the water out of the stone trough, and now is not the hour."
As he spoke, Zhong Laoqi suddenly stretched out his fingers and pinched them.
"Huh? Old-timer, if you make the slightest mistake here, we're in big trouble! ”
I exclaimed excitedly.
"What's it called? The ghosts out there are still there! ”
Zhong Laoqi frowned, still carefully counting the hour, and after a long time, his eyes suddenly widened, and he said: "Well, now should be the first moment of the hour, and another moment, the ghosts outside will quickly hide, and then after a while, the ghosts will be haunted!" ”
"In that half-hour gap, is it that the ghosts and spirits will not notice the things outside?"
I asked earnestly.
"No!"
Zhong Laoqi shook his head and said: "That half moment is the most dangerous time, because the ghosts and spirits want to break this rule, I have tried, go out and walk around at this half moment, hoping to find an exit, but who knows that time...... That's what I've become......"
It turned out that when Mr. Zhong went out to explore the way, he was attacked by the ghosts and spirits at the same time, and the demons that were overwhelming almost devoured Mr. Zhong alive.
"And how did you get out, old man?"
I looked at Mr. Zhong suspiciously, there are so many ghosts and ghosts, it is unlikely that he will have a chance to get out, but he still got out, could it be that he has some protective treasure on his body?
"Don't try to find any treasure in me, I am a ghost immortal, not a secular mortal, even in the secular world, I don't need any mundane things, I can only use my own cultivation, in the past three years, I have consumed no less than ten times of cultivation, each time I am exhausted, I have to recuperate here for about three months to recover, this is the eleventh time to use my cultivation, and I will pick you back!"
Zhong Laoqi said with a wry smile.
"No, the old man didn't consume the eleventh cultivation this time, and we still returned to the cave in time, so ......"
"You, don't think about anything else, if you want to go out and send yourself out, I won't be stupid again!"
It seems that Zhong Laoqi can see my thoughts at a glance, and it is no wonder that he is a ghost immortal, and naturally he has supernatural powers that are higher than mortals, and it is normal for him to know what I am thinking.
"Just this time, success or not, it all depends on the old-timers, the younger generations are still shallow, and even if they fight for cultivation, it is impossible to get out of the whole body, so the old-timers have to go out to do this well!"
I said with a smile, staring at Mr. Zhong with my eyes.
"If we don't succeed, we'll sell this place, and it's going to be very difficult to find another place to live!"
Zhong Laoqi was not unreasonable, but his expression obviously flashed with a light, which showed that his hope was not completely shattered.
"Believe that evil prevails over good!"
I nodded heavily, and Mr. Zhong hesitated, so he had to nod, but he still stretched out a finger to signal that I only had this chance, and I quickly grinned.
This plan is to provoke a war between the ghosts and the ghosts, how to provoke it, it can only be done with a bait that attracts them enough, and this bait ......
I immediately found a half-cut branch, reached out and bit my finger, and drew a "stand-in" on it!
And Zhong Laoqi is not idle, turned over his own firewood, found a slender branch, more than a person high, I drew a "stand-in talisman", just wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Zhong Laoqi, Zhong Laoqi looked at me cautiously, and said: "Little guy, although this stand-in talisman is not your real body, but it is your birthday eight characters on it, the eight characters and the real body have a strong perception, once they find out that we have deceived them, they will easily find your location, and then you want to hide, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky!" ”
"Old-timers, for us to get out of this ghost place as soon as possible, even if we fail, it's worth it!"
I put the stand-in charm in Zhong Laoqi's hand, Zhong Laoqi's expression trembled, silently caught it, and tied it to the branch.
"Good boy, I haven't had much hope in the past three years, but you gave me hope, and I believe you will be able to leave here!"
Mr. Zhong patted me on the shoulder vigorously and walked out carrying the branch.
Didn't give me any chance.
When I first met this place, I calculated the time given by Mr. Zhong, and now it is half a quarter before the ghost returns to the lair, and the other half a moment is when Mr. Zhong goes to place the stand-in, I hope nothing goes wrong, Master Zu blesses!
I prayed silently, praying that everything would be well for Mr. Zhong......
Time passed bit by bit, as if the time of this moment passed too quickly, I almost didn't want Zhong Laoqi to take risks, I almost wanted to stop Zhong Laoqi, but when I went to look for Zhong Laoqi's figure, I found that he had left the passage.
"Tick! Tick! Tick! ”
The drops of water stains, echoing through my heart, shook my whole body, I hurriedly lay on the air leak, hoping to see the figure of Zhong Laoqi, sure enough, he appeared.
In a dimly lit corner, Zhong Laoqi crouched cautiously there, he didn't move, he couldn't move, because less than ten zhang away from him, there were two or three ghostly ghosts, circling back and forth, they seemed to be looking for a delicious meal, although there were many other evil spirits for them to enjoy, but what could compare to the spirit of the ghost fairy?
The Qi of Yuanyang is what every spiritual cultivator dreams of.
Even if you are a ghost, you are no exception!
"Tick ......"
Water droplets, still dripping, I pinched my fingers and counted, it just so happened that there was another half a quarter of the hour, and the ghosts outside quickly moved away from the void, valleys, water streams, waterfalls, only a few of them, hesitated and refused to leave, but the law of survival did not allow them to destroy it so much, and in the end, the only few left, also quietly hidden.
Zhong Laoqi said that this half-moment of concealment is not really hidden, and the ghosts that have not yet come out are not without any perception, all the evil ghosts are at this moment, maintaining a very high perception ability, Zhong Laoqi suddenly moved.
A white shadow is as fast as lightning, I have to say, as a ghost immortal, he also has an advantage when he escapes, in the blink of an eye appears more than ten zhang away, and in the blink of an eye, it is on the small mountain peak dozens of zhang away, Zhong Laoqi struggled to tie the branch tied to the stand-in talisman, inserted it on it, and then turned around and ran!
"Boom !!"
At this moment, whether it was a ghost or a ghost, I couldn't see clearly, I saw an overwhelming, black oppressive piece, rushing straight towards the void, and then directly towards the stand-in talisman, impacting down - Zhong Laoqi was about to run back, I excitedly grabbed the crack in the stone, gritted my teeth and secretly shouted: "Hurry up and run!" ”
But just as Zhong Laoqi was about to return to the entrance of the passage, he suddenly turned around and disappeared to the other side......
"Huh? Why don't the old-timers come back? ”
Just when I was surprised, I saw a dragon ghost appear viciously in the place where Zhong Laoqi just appeared, the figure is so fast, it is simply staggering, I have to say, these ghost ghosts have rested for a night, and the speed is also fast to such a situation, dozens of times faster than those ghosts!
That...... Then there will definitely be a good show to watch later, but, what about Mr. Zhong? Where did he go? Will it be exposed? Will it be dangerous?
I saw that the ghost was standing in place and sniffing, and was just about to chase in the direction where Zhong Laoqi disappeared, when he suddenly heard a terrifying scream from the mountain peak behind him, and the ghost suddenly turned around and rushed back like lightning.
"Plop!"
At this moment, a white shadow hit the stone wall of the cave heavily, flashing out, it was Zhong Laoqi, looking at Zhong Laoqi's miserable white face, I knew that such a consumption of cultivation is very serious, this is not better than the outside world, with the nourishment of heaven and earth aura, there is nothing here, only boundless ferocity and resentment, every time a point of spiritual power is consumed, it is extremely difficult to recover, hurriedly helped Zhong Laoqi, I hurriedly said: "Senior, are you okay?" ”
"I'm fine, I've just consumed half of my cultivation, I'll be fine after a rest, hurry up and help me to take a look!"
Zhong Laoqi excitedly grabbed my arm and tried to walk to the leaky outlet, I could understand Zhong Laoqi's mood, and immediately helped him to come to the leaky wind, only to see that on the mountain peak dozens of feet away, countless ghosts and ghosts, as well as countless ghosts, all brushed towards the stand-in charm, pounced down......
